Cruise news: MSC Cruises traditionally get the sailaway party started with a conga line - here's the forming of the conga line on the MSC Opera with the magnificent backdrop of Table Mountain.
As part of the Group Booking Special, if you're the organiser of the cruise, you cruise for free if you've booked 20 lower beds in cabins (and for every additional 20 lower bed cabins booked, another person cruises for free). Simply email us today and ask for the Group Booking Special.
Book a Group & Cruise for Free
Escape the tedium of another team building lunch by taking your employees on a fun-filled cruise. Conferences, team building, incentive rewards - just a few of the functions that can become the "same old, same old". For your sanity, book your group onto a cruise! Instead of drinking insipid tea at the same old hotel at the 10:30 interval, your break could include the breeze caressing your hair, cocktails - alcohol-free of course (until later!), along with the smell of the salty sea. With meeting room facilities and conference venues that can be customised, the MSC Opera, MSC Sinfonia and our international cruises provide everything that you could possibly need, and more.
What constitutes a group?
To be considered as a group, you need to have 21 or more people. The great thing is that every 21st person is free, where the other 20 passengers are in lower beds. Each group has unique needs and depending on the size of the group, many extras can be added, from personalized competitions to cocktail parties, from shuttles to specialised shore excursions. Send in your brief and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes.
How to get the best deal
The easiest way to get the most competitive pricing is to be flexible on your dates. If you can go anytime in a month of your choosing, or have 3 or 4 cruises as options, then this greatly assists in negotiating better fares. And of course, the more people there are in the group, the better the pricing too. There are also packages that can be added on to give extra value for money.
Who can use the group deals?
Any one! It is not only for corporates or businesses - any group that is large enough can take advantage of the deals and facilities on offer. Matric end of year getaway, weddings, church groups, pensioners holidays - these are but a few of the groups that have booked cruises for their functions.
Earn cruise vouchers
Any of the passengers who are part of the group booking may earn cruise vouchers to discount the cost of their next cruise booked with us, by emailing us a write-up and photos of their cruise!
But wait...there's more ;)
If you book and pay your deposit before the end of June 2013 you stand the chance to win a free cruise for 2 people. If you've done a group booking of 20 or more lower beds, we'll give you 10 entries into the lucky draw.
Lufthansa news: they've introduced an option where you can select a flight and reserve it for 48 hours (if you choose not to take up the option, you'll be charged a reservation fee).
Fly the "wrong way" from Johannesburg to New York, via Hong Kong, with Cathay Pacific (still 1-stop, and not that much longer than going the "right" way).
If you can swim you can snorkel with seals - no qualifications or experience necessary.
From the 30th June 2013 British Airways is launching 3 weekly flights from Gatwick to Larnaca.

Kind comments from Caz on our Egypt flights page: "Wow I am impressed and thank you for the lovely detailed insight to your trip, photo's awesome - very well written too. I missed my trip to Egypt, but am a serious collector of Egyptian stuff, so maybe one day that trip will come around again, as to allow me the shopping, history pleasure.
Totally "snake" phobia I have, so when you say snakes, guess you must have seen a few - that is a huge botter for me too, even battle with seeing them built in on my Egyptian ornaments.
Will use your guide for future should I get there one day, thank you for sharing."

"There's huge demand at the moment. If you just look at ticket prices at the moment, they've increased by 40 or 50% over the last 5 or 6 months. And the market has shrunk. So we need to bring some stiff competition in. Bring those airfares down by probably up to 25% and then grow the market again". Rodney James of Skywise Airline
